The only male protagonist in variety comics

Although he is a senior executive of a large company like Fantasia Bunko, Hyōdo Akira gets off work later than average. In fact, even Yukinoshita Haruno, who is the branch manager, and Machida Enko, who is the director of the Bunko headquarters, There are very few examples of leaving early. His boss set such an example. Regardless of whether it is emotional or reasonable, Hyōtō Akira, who has a lot of work on his shoulders, will naturally not leave early.

By the time he returned home exhausted, his wife was almost ready to prepare the meal and was finishing the last few steps in the kitchen. His daughter was also in the room, and from time to time there was the sound of a few musical instruments. It was a guitar.

"Michiru, I have something to tell you."

Hyotou Akira knocked on the door of his daughter's room. The sound of musical instruments in the room quickly stopped. After a while, a beautiful girl with short hair who looked sunny and energetic opened the door and asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's talk in the living room."

During a conversation, choosing the location of the conversation is something you need to pay attention to. If a very serious conversation is said in a non-serious situation, no matter how serious the tone is, it will inevitably make the other party feel a little frivolous. As a result, As a worker who has been ups and downs in society for a long time, Hyōdo Akira naturally knows this detail very well.

Because of this, Yoshitomo Hyōdo sat up on the sofa in the living room and unconsciously sat up a little straighter, staring slightly reservedly. My own father.

Since when did my usually kind father become strict? He spent less and less time at home and more and more time at work. Although this seemed to be a bad change, my mother seemed very happy. There were fewer smiles on his father's face, but every time he smiled, he had a more obvious smile than before. It was a smile from the heart.

Hyōdo Michiru was not very clear about the reason for this change.

And Hyōdo Akira swept away Taking a look at her daughter's fingers, she once injured her fingers because she didn't know the skills and played the guitar too frequently. Akira Hyōdo wanted to ask his daughter to stop this interest because he was distressed, but Michiru refused. Now that he thinks about it, it's really worth it that he didn't stop just like that. Fortunately

"Michiru, are you playing in a band these days?"

"yes."

Hyoudou Michiru nodded. She was not very sure why her father suddenly mentioned the band. Her father was busy with work on weekdays. Her mother said that he stayed in the study room all night yesterday to work. Now he suddenly cared about her, which made Hyōdou Michiru feel a little bit confused. She was at a loss.

However, the girl soon discovered that this was not the concern she thought she had.

"So get ready. Fantasia Bunko plans to cultivate a band that specializes in soundtracking animations and games. In the next few days, I will let you understand the characteristics of these things. It is best for you to create music that matches them. In that case, in the future You will be given priority during the screening, and I will temporarily ask for leave from the school."

Hearing his father's words, Hyodo Michiru's eyes widened.

"What kind of library do you want me to go to? Doesn't it matter if you give up your studies for this?"

"It's not 'that' Bunko, it's Fantasia Bunko. Michiru, I heard that you have some prejudices against otaku culture, but you should at least understand where your father works and what the news media are currently reporting on!"

Hyoudou Akira's tone became obviously harsh, and Michiru's mother, who heard some conversation in the living room in the kitchen, came out.

"My dear, are you being too harsh on Michiru? Moreover, giving up your studies, even temporarily, is too much.……"

Faced with his wife's reminder, Hyōdo Akira shook his head and glanced at Hyōdo Michiru

"With her current grades, it would be a bit risky to get admitted to a second-rate university in the future. As for first-rate universities, she has no extravagant expectations. But let alone students from second-rate universities, with the current strength of our library, candidates with first-rate university degrees are as easy as crossing the river. Crucian carp, if you don't have any special skills, there is no possibility of being included in the library. The competition in the society is so fierce, so you should be prepared early."

Hido Akira said these words not only to his wife, but also to Michiru.

"Why do I have to enter Fantasia Library?!"

Michiru Hyōdo, who had lowered his head without saying a word, suddenly raised his head and shouted at his father emotionally.

This strong emotion seemed to Akira Hyōdō to be childish. In Fantasia Bunko , there are also some job seekers and new light novel writers who will express such emotions when facing failure. Apart from making the interviewer or editor in charge of them feel disgusted and making the situation evolve into a worse direction, there is no other way. Effect

"oh? So let me listen to your thoughts and your plans for the future. If you can achieve a better future than the path I gave you, I will allow you to go your own way."

After Hyoutang Akira finished speaking, he paused for a moment. Seeing his daughter thinking there, he continued.

"If you want to work as a cashier in a store or supermarket, then you can skip it. Not to mention the status of this job and the possibility of being troubled by customers and other disadvantages. The salary alone, hehe, you will be paid for working hard for a month. Not even half, no, a quarter of the most common employees in Fantasia Bunko, do you understand?"

"……I can sing and play guitar."

Michiru Hyōdo retorted unwillingly. However, this weak rebuttal was what Akira Hyōdo had expected.

"So I will let you work hard to pass the screening and enter the Fantasia library. The current entertainment and culture industry is in a downturn. After Sword Art Online was born, otaku culture has improved. If you want to continue playing music, enter as a The library of the leader in otaku culture is your best choice."

Looking at Hyōdo Michiru being silent, Hyōdō Akira sighed and then spoke.

"Michiru, you are very smart, you can even be said to be a genius, as long as you focus onYou can make achievements in any field. You have dabbled in volleyball, drama, and basketball, and have achieved good results. Unfortunately, it is just a moment of enthusiasm. Such achievements alone are not enough for you to survive for a long time. You are better than you. I have seen geniuses who want to exaggerate, and even meet them often recently. Unlike you who is lowering your head in front of me and listening to me, in front of him, I am listening to him with my head lowered, feeling hesitant and nervous in my heart. It’s just a lot more than you are at this moment, do you understand?"

Hyodo Akira didn't even have the courage to use his authority to find connections for his daughter and enter the library through the back door. He could only rely on a slight information advantage.
